I've always taught that if you are intelligent you can make a lot of money.It seemed that I was wrong because I saw a lot of people who graduated at least one college and they've ended up by "cleaning other's people mess"...

A degree doesn't make you smart. You can learn more, however most of the wealthiest people I've met have come from a minimum educational background and through hard work and learning by experience they've climbed their way up.

Yeah, that was a lie they taught us to work hard at school. I got great marks... I got a degree... still can't get a job! The only people who make a lot of money are the ones who are "money smart". Some people don't even need to finish high school to have that.
Added: To be fair, I should point out that many people do make a lot of money thanks to being intelligent... my big bro and my bro in law are both IT professionals who rake in over a hundred thousand a year. You just gotta pick the right profession (I picked Alternative Health... oops - no so great for money, but great for being helpful to other people... that's all I really wanted, anyway).

money makes you more of what you already are- if you are stuck up- you will be more stuck up- if you are a giver, you will be more of a giver. Intelligence will help you discern between good and bad. Money does not make you happy. Intelligence can be your compass to happiness, prosperity, frinedships and wise choices. When Solomon asked what it was that he wanted in all the world- he chose wisdom.
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity. There is nothing new under the sun.

Intelligence, because without it you can't spend or make money wisely....It's better to have a little wisdom/intelligence than a lot of money/wealth...

Remember, money should be the second most important thing in one's life. It should never be the first. It should not be third either.
